Question

What is exponential equation that has a y-intercept of 5 and a multiplier of 1.7

Answer 1

The exponential equation having y- intercept of 5 and a multiplier of 1.7 is

`y=5(1.7^x\text{)}`

Hence

, wwhen x = 0

`\begin{gathered} y=5(1.7^0) \\ y\text{ = 5} \end{gathered}`

Therefore the correct answer is

`y=5(1.7^x)`
